The Las Vegas Raiders take on division rival Los Angeles in Week 18, and here are three Chargers to worry about in the matchup.

The Las Vegas Raiders can punch their ticket to the playoffs on Sunday night, as they welcome the Los Angeles Chargers to Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders have won three straight games heading into their matchup against their division rival, including a solid road win against Indianapolis to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Here, we look at the Chargers, and three members of their team to worry about.

Las Vegas Raiders: 3 Los Angeles Chargers players to Worry About in Week 18

Joey Bosa, Defensive End

We start out with the player who had some choice words for quarterback Derek Carr after the last game, and that is Chargers star edge rusher Joey Bosa. Bosa stated that Carr shuts down once he gets hit a few times, and you can be sure that he is going to do everything he can to get after Carr and try to get him off his mark.

The issue here is that, while the Raiders have a solid left tackle in Kolton Miller, the right tackle spot, manned by Brandon Parker, is a real deficiency for this offensive line. If the Chargers were smart, they would attack Parker with Bosa, and that could lead to a lot of pressure on Carr, especially on passing downs.
